  • Chain Length: Adjust hanging chain for personal vehicle or bag size.
  • Assembly: Use a hot glue gun to reinforce knots and stitches for durability, especially if the charm will be in a high-movement space, like a car.
  • Stuffed Section: Shape the strawberry carefully while stuffing for the best rounded effect.
  • Leaves: Stiffen leaves with a light spray of fabric stiffener if desired.
